Rethinking "Obama Nation"

I would imagine that most of you know that yesterday was the Presidential Inauguration. Further, most of you probably know that Obama has a lot of ties to Chicago. His home is a couple blocks from where I work at the University of Chicago. (It is now part of the new employee orientation tour.) On a scale of 1 to 10, local support registers a 73 on the redonculous-o-meter. Yesterday there were people yelling "Obama Nation" on the bus while doing a little jig. It never occurred to me until then that for people that do not enunciate well...it is going to sound like "abomination" everytime.
